Spacious suite in good location.

Nice, roomy suite and walking distance from the main shopping and dining street in Galena. Host was very communicative. Breakfast was homemade and very tasty, but I had to reheat in the microwave in the morning. It was not served in dining room or delivered in the morning per the listing.Would stay again.

Loved our stay at The Federal House

We loved staying here! Our suite was very comfortable! Kate was wonderful! She made us feel so special and welcome! Loved the delicious breakfasts! She stocked our fridge the night before with breakfast all we had to do was warm it up when we wanted to eat in the morning! The location was perfect to main street. We walked everywhere we went! Didn't have to worry about parking!the morning!

Perfect Location

Our stay was the perfect getaway! Kate was so helpful in the check in process and with communication throughout the stay. The room was clean and cozy. Only one thing to note: the breakfast was not really as advertised. Although it was very good, it was prepared the night before and placed in our fridge for reheating in the morning. Still delicious homemade food. But unexpected.

Anniversary Fun

We enjoyed our stay in the Federal House again. A very Deja Vu experience for a 2nd year in a row. Pleasant, historic lodging with everything needed for a wonderful weekend. Very quiet with walking access to downtown restaurants, bars and shopping. Breakfasts were wonderful and we were surprised with a present of a locally made box of chocolates. The suite was well equipped with a comfortable king size bed, a gas fireplace, coffee/tea bar, and WiFi among other amenities. Our host and housekeeper made sure our expectations were exceeded!

Wonderful Experience

My wife and I celebrated our 25th anniversary by returning to the Galena area where we had come 25 years earlier. Our experience at this property was amazing. It has all the charms of an old house in a by-gone era. Yet, it has the modern amenities you would expect of a modern rental. The bathroom has been nicely updated, and the overall feel of the place was classic; yet contemporary. Our host Kate was amazing with directions, and she was easy to contact. Our breakfast was absolutely top notch both days. (Delivered right to our room). Kate even left a little gift for our anniversary! We couldn’t be happier. Highly recommended.
